Notes on Operating Systems The following describes important notes related to the operating systems for the Maya 2011, Subscription Advantage Pack for Microsoft Windows software product. 1. Maya 2011, Subscription Advantage Pack has not been certified on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3. 2. Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2). After installation of Service Pack 2, Maya or its component programs may not launch successfully. If this occurs, you may either unblock the program via the Windows Firewall Security Alert dialogue, or add it as an Exception in the Exceptions Tab in the Windows Firewall dialogue box. For more information, please see the Microsoft Update at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842242&product=windowsxpsp2 3. Autodesk is aware of a problem whereby the system can pause or temporary hang when some of the Maya toolbar menus are being triggered. Should you encounter this problem, please send a message to
[email protected]. 4. We do not recommend saving data directly from Maya to NFS or Novell Netware or other remote mounted file systems. We have received several reports of data corruption when saving in this method although we have been unable to reproduce this. We strongly recommend that you save the files locally and then copy the data to the mounted storage system. 5. If the Maya tear-off pull-down menus don't display properly on Windows XP with UI schemes, set UI preference to Windows Classic Style. Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Windows Classic. 6. It is strongly suggested to select the global presets: ―Autodesk Maya‖ in the global settings under Manage 3D settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel. 7. When installing the ATI FireGL drivers, an Audio driver for HDMI audio output is installed by default, this may cause your current sound configuration to no longer function properly. To avoid this problem, you can either avoid installing the HDMI driver or disable the sound driver in the Device Manager.
